It is a critical time for legislators to hear from their state’s public health leaders. The legislative agenda for the coming year will include key legislation affecting public health and health education research and practice. 

One of the first items of business each year is for the Congress to draft a budget for fiscal year. This is the best time for you to voice your opinion about what federal programs are important. It’s best to make yourself heard early in the budget process.

While CNHEO actively advocates on many of these issues, constituents add a powerful voice to the debate. Now is the time to request meetings with your members of Congress. CNHEO staff would be glad to accompany anyone making a first-time visit. Please notify Iliana Kiourkas of your appointments, including the member of Congress, time and date.
